For those of you that don't know .
I own my own Semi , it's a 2008 Kenworth T 800 ... Cummins ISX 525 HP 13 spd  Studio Sleeper .

look closely on doors .... swamprat .

I haul Oilfield equipment from the Tulsa, OK to the Calgary and Edmonton Alberta areas . Round trip 3 to 4 times a month 3800 miles.

A few winter cell phone pics below .....










 
Nice; my dad does the same thing -- he's working for McLane in Texas right now but wants to get his own rig again and take on heavy load jobs -- he was OTR for like 20 years.

It's funny; my dad works 2 days a week and makes damn near what I make; I make damn good money with an MBA.

Love my " chicken lights " on my " rooster cruiser ".

ABOUT $50.00 ea.  Google the part numbers and order online or any decent chrome shop can get them for you .
 
LOL, maybe I should quit my office job and drive a truck.

You are truly clueless ...

Wow ... and an atypical uniformed reply from someone that knows nothing about the industry .

As an Owner-Operator I am my own boss and responsible for managing  my own business expenses . By the way my net income over the past 4 yrs . Has averaged $160,000.00 , that is after all of my expenses to include taxes .

Some folks aren't afraid to work hard and get dirty doing So.
Try wiping your ASS some somtimes with out Toilet Paper .

I'll leave the name calling to others. ?....Geeeezzzz
 
I love it! I knew that'd get a rise out of you!

I'm just busting your balls.

I work with owner operators every day, in addition to company drivers. I'm on an operations team at a fuel distribution terminal. Truck drivers is 70 percent of my job.
Which means I know how full of **** alot of you are. Lmao

I took his comment as a jest.  But to swamp rats point.... there is a huge differance between owner operators.  Truck drivers steering wheel holders and seat warmers.. 

As a general rule the owner operators give a damn about what they do and how there truck looks and runs.  There are also truck drives that do care to.. but i have know some people that didnt care what they drove. If it was a 80's cab over but they could make an extra 50 cents an hour they wouod drive it.  To me that is stupid considering the amount of time we spend in the semis

My fun is provided in other area's . :WOOT:  :WOOT:
 
Yeah, I feel you guys.

I was just at Albian Mines for a site visit and will be at Scottford in a month or so for another one. Last 2 weeks I've been in Canada pretty much.
I haven't seen snow in 30 years, it was snowing and cold when I was at Fort Mac all week.
 
I get up to Fort McMurray  , AB  a few times a year as well.
Mining and Oil Field production is balls to the walls across large areas of Alberta due to the tar sands oil reserves there .
Beautiful country , cold as hell in the winter and lots of good hunting and fishing if your into that .
They live and breath Hockey too , that actually would  be an understatement ! !
